The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Principles of crystal nucleation and growth (2003, neutral): “Typically the impurity molecules distort the crystal structure, thereby increasing the internal energy of the solid through an enthalpic contribution (van Enckevort and van der Berg 1998; Davis et al. 2000).”
A route for the direct crystallization of dolomite (2015, neutral): “This was based on our own solid analysis and comparing with other carbonate studies in the literature (Davis et al. 2000).”
Nanoscale effects of strontium on calcite growth : An in situ AFM study in the absence of vital effects (2005, background): “In contrast to the Sr behavior reported in this paper, Mg inhibits growth through incorporation to produce a Mg-calcite solid solution mineral with a higher apparent solubility ( Davis et al., 2000; Davis et al., 2004) and causes a very different morphologic effect on growth structures (Davis et al”
Climate change and ocean acidification effects on seagrasses and marine macroalgae (2013, background): “This occurs because the Mg slows net calcite precipitation (Möller & Parekh, 1975; Davis et al., 2000).”
Microbial Kinetic Controls on Calcite Morphology in Supersaturated Solutions (2005, background): “Most natural solutions contain ions such as magnesium, sulfate, and phosphate that act as kinetic inhibitors of calcite precipitation and alter its morphology (Berner and Morse 1974; Davis et al. 2000; Fernández-Dı́az et al. 1996; Tracy et al. 1998).”
